The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) today announced the winners of its search for the best real cider and perry in the UK.

The winners are:

Cider: Hecks Kingston Black – Somerset

Perry: Seidr Dai – Cardiff

Gillian Williams, CAMRA’s Director of Cider and Perry campaigning said: “Commercial ciders are enjoying something of a boon at the moment thanks to lavish advertising, but it should not be forgotten that exceptionally high quality real cider is still being made all over the UK. Just squeeze the juice out of the fruit and leave to ferment naturally. At its best it is a wonderful drink allowing the true fruit flavour to come through to the full.
